Anacostia Real Estate For Sale

Located in the southeast quadrant of the nation's capitol, Anacostia was settled in 1854 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Anacostia homes offer a larger than average number of distressed properties for sale and provide a welcome alternative to some of DC's pricier real estate.

Anacostia homes for sale in Washington DC offer an old and diverse range of architectural styles, including clapboard rowhouses, brownstones, Tudors, tall boxy Victorians with covered porches and Craftsman bungalows.
